Websocket echo server

(See the README.md file in the upper level 'examples' directory for more information about examples.) This example demonstrates the HTTPD server using the WebSocket feature.

How to Use Example

The example starts a WS server on a local network, so a WS client is needed to interact with the server (an example test ws_server_example_test.py could be used as a simple WS client).

The server registers WebSocket handler which echoes back the received WebSocket frame. It also demonstrates use of asynchronous send, which is triggered on reception of a certain message.

Please note that the WebSocket HTTP server does not automatically fragment messages. Each outgoing frame has the FIN flag set by default. In case an application wants to send fragmented data, it must be done manually by setting the fragmented option and using the final flag as described in RFC6455, section 5.4.

Hardware Required

This example can be executed on any common development board, the only required interface is WiFi or Ethernet connection to a local network.

Configure the project

• Open the project configuration menu (idf.py menuconfig)
• Configure Wi-Fi or Ethernet under "Example Connection Configuration" menu. See "Establishing Wi-Fi or Ethernet Connection" section in examples/protocols/README.md for more details.

Build and Flash

Build the project and flash it to the board, then run monitor tool to view serial output:

idf.py -p PORT flash monitor

(To exit the serial monitor, type Ctrl-].)

See the Getting Started Guide for full steps to configure and use ESP-IDF to build projects.
